Bio Architecture Concept Space c/o PEN

Apartment c/c HONDARRIBIA
The refurbishing of this home at the historic quarter of an emblematic village seeks to maintain the character of the place, exposing architectonic elements from its interior and respecting the original construction’s main features.
Whitewashed walls and ceilings frame a calm space opening to a view of the Cantabrian Sea, which seems to enter the house and expand into the living room. Thanks to a big, covered terrace it’s possible to enjoy the landscape throughout the year remaining sheltered by architecture.
The furniture, especially designed and manufactured to-measure in solid oak, precedes a central hallway which underscores the place’s lengthy extension while serving as a bridge between day and nighttime zones located at two ends of the house. The night zone is projected towards the sunset with bedrooms and a staircase leading to a sloped zone that is used as a studio. LIMESTONE / SOLID OAK

The design of this apartment in a farmhouse on the Biscay coast focused on the architectural reinvention of the space, with the idea of discovering all the coverings of the space in order to undress the original architectural elements and that these were the ones that gave shape to a single volume. RECOVERED WOOD / RECOVERED BRICKS

The design of this apartment, located at the Baqueira-Beret winter station, presents the challenge of maintaining an 80s architecture essence, true to the decade when it was built. Classic pine wood wall linings invited reinvention: they are framed by ceilings and floors to enhance a feeling of containment in the space and create a warm atmosphere, very necessary in such regions as the Pyrenees. PINE WOOD

Elements from the vineyard’s hillsides are borrowed to welcome visitors into the tasting room: limestone totems are enhanced by focal lighting and aligned to the millimeter along the space where the cellar’s entire wine collection is exhibited.
